Thought he played for the Bisons last year

Sure hope so. I don't hate Toby but I honestly think Vegas wouldn't take him so this would be the best case scenario.

It's a false equivalency. If a fetus faces an abortion, it dies 100% of the time. If a refugee is turned away, they aren't necessarily going to die. The situations are totally different.

They are isolated from modern society, their team sucks, they are desperate, and Cox was their only good player last year.

It's impossible to predict what Vegas will do. They aren't just going to take the best player available from each team. I suspect many picks will leave people scratching their heads but will make sense to Vegas on a holistic level.

Nothing, I don't mind it really... just didn't agree that he had done anything different in this case. Same non answer as always.

Were those answers??? Seemed like the same old non-answer to me. I doubt the pick is moved.

Corporate names are always going to be lame, MTS Centre vs Bell MTS Place makes little difference to me. Still better than Jobing.com arena or Gaylord Entertainment Centre.

If you all want to equate the situation of an unborn fetus with that of a refugee that's your prerogative but don't expect people to take you seriously. BTW I'm pro choice, I just think it's a ridiculous comparison.

Back problems or not, if the drugs you're on have you that intoxicated that you pass out behind the wheel, you shouldn't be behind the wheel. A prescription isn't a license to drive intoxicated. There's a reason they put those warnings on the bottle.

That would be a valid point if most refugees lives were in danger (some are, the vast majority are not). There is a big difference between importing 20-35 year old men en masse to our country and defending the rights of an unborn child who cannot defend itself.

He is the most CFL-experienced MLB on the roster. Make one of the Americans beat him for the spot. Shouldn't be that hard.

That's too bad. I just saw that he is not anti-gay but I guess that's the best we can hope for from the conservatives in today's political climate.

I'd be a lot more comfortable if Knox/Temple had some starting experience. I like how the Stamps do it.... bring in a vet and cut him if the rookie is better, ala MLBs Reed and Singleton last year.

I don't know much about the new Conservative leader Scheer but it seems that he is looking to be somewhat progressive. Hard to tell. Would be nice if we could have a party that sits in the centre more than the hard-right Harper conservatives and hard-left liberals/NDP. And don't try to convince me the liberals are in the centre.... that ship sailed long ago.

It's funny, most of Mulroney's policies today would be seen as very liberal... bringing in a new sales tax, taking a stand against Apartheid, and taking measures to protect the environment. Unfortunately people don't like new taxes and he had a face that just made you want to punch him... but looking back he actually had a very successful tenure as PM.

He has some starting experience as well.

I'd been inactive on OB for quite some time until seeing Noeller tweet about this place. Thought I was done arguing with people about the Bombers and CFL but it reignited my addiction which is going strong to this day.

Good question... I feel like the abrupt retirements of Garrett Waggoner and Ryan Smith may have left us with some space but it's impossible to know for sure.

He is 30 but he did play in all 18 games last year and put up some pretty big stats. I wouldn't mind seeing him here if we have the cap space. We can keep our best MLB prospect around in case Woods gets hurt and then we're in no worse situation than if we hadn't picked him up.
